James Ellsworth: The Funniest Memes You Need to See

James Ellsworth has a title shot against WWE World Champion AJ Styles on this week's 'SmackDown Live.' He sure has come a long way in just a few months. Back in July, Ellsworth was a random local jobber who went up against Braun Strowman, and normally he would be completely forgotten afterwards. But thanks to his hilarious promo and his enthusiasm for a match he clearly had no chance of winning, the fans immediately embraced Ellsworth, creating dozens of online memes which semi-ironically paint him as one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. The internet's embrace of Ellsworth lead to him being brought back on 'SmackDown Live' a few weeks later, being beat up by The Miz before the main event. And just when we thought that was the end of it, Ellsworth recently returned to shock the world by defeating AJ Styles, although he only did so thanks to Dean Ambrose blatantly disregarding the rules while he was guest referee. On October 18th's show, Ellsworth has a title match against AJ Styles, and though there's roughly a zero percent chance of Ellsworth legitimately leaving with the belt, we can always dream. Here are some of the funniest James Ellsworth memes you need to see. (Twitter)
